Series 2 Droplets by the Awesome @JamFactory

Brightening up my desk

Last week on saturday was the launch of the series 2 droplets, and well . . . they are just awesome!!!

@JamFactory sold out of the little slick ricks in 58 minutes at the fifty fifty store Bristol after throwing a cool shindig with custom Droplets galore on display. However never fear, if you want some of your own, check out Crazylabel.

But also @JamFactory got the amazing word today that the IT Crowd Series 4 want some of his Droplets for the show, so congratulations to him for that!!!

Google Nexus One – Oh Me Oh My

B-E-A-utiful

I was lucky enough to attend the Android Developer Labs (ADL) 2010 in London and we were the first batch (of many on the ADL world tour) to receive a free Nexus One courtesy  of Google (and a huge thanks to the host Reto Meier).

Anyway I’ve been playing with it since that day and love it, I don’t have any gripes about it, what so ever.

I admit the lack of multi-touch was a pain in the back side- but as soon as I got back from London, sure enough the blogosphere was alive with comments about the multi-touch update being pushed. (I cannot begin to tell you how good those couple of days were lol!)

Here are some photo’s I took, and anyone reading this curious about the Nexus One, just go for it, any questions just post a comment :-)

Android Contacts – Method behind the madness

In the 2.0 release of Android the Contacts api changed, and boy do I mean changed.

The thing is if you read through the documentation it’s near impossible to differentiate the difference between ContactsContract.Contacts and RawContacts and then Entity and Data. But there is a reasoning behind all of this and I’m going to attempt to illustrate it with a little image, while this isn’t accurate I just thought it might help some of you get to grip a bit with the differences.
